This month, Starbucks’ music label Hear Music and Concord releases Holidays Rule, a new compilation featuring 17 new takes on classic Christmas tunes by contemporary favorites. Chicago’s own Fruit Bats contributed a cover of the 1951 class “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”. The band add their own folksy edge with twangy guitars echoing on behind a mandolin twinkling like lights on a tree. Eric D. Johnson doesn’t try to go all Bing Crosby on the vocals, which works out well as his gentle delivery is just as warming. Grab some of that holiday spirit down below.
